Eratap Beach Resort, Vanuatu
Eratap Beach Resort is a brand new 2008 resort built just inland of Eratap Beach. It is on a peninsula with the ocean on one side and a protected lagoon on the other.
This is a luxury resort and about as isolated and private as you can get on the island of Efate. The resort has it all, from honeymoon suites to spas, swimming pool, soft clean white sand beach, well developed coral reefs to snorkel on, kayaks. The sea side villas are fan cooled with sea breezes. The builder/owner/managers are Tony and Louisa. Tony is a keen surfer, fisherman and environmentalist and has set up facilities at Eratap Beach Resort to suit these tastes. There are two resort skiffs available free of charge to guests, kayaks, and you can swim, snorkel and even surf right off the beach.
When I first walked into one of the waterfront villas I was really impressed with the rooms - large, well laid out, furnished and decorated perfectly. Each villa is divided into "pavilions" - the one bedroom villa has a bedroom/bathroom pavillion and a lounge pavillion. There are one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom villas available - all absolute waterfront.
My first thought was that they had spend a fortune on an interior decorator, but Louisa said that she and Tony did all the planning, found and bought all the furnishings, and set up the rooms themselves. This is one extremely talented young couple, and they are professional, attentive and gracious hosts as well. Families with children are welcome at Eratap Beach Resort. Tony and Louisa have set up special "family weeks" when families are encouraged to come with their kids (write to them for dates). During family weeks there are a whole range of activities that will appeal to both kids and their parents. One of the highlights of Erakor Beach Resort - for kids and parents - is a boat trip out to Castaway Island. This is one of the most beautiful tiny reef islands in Vanuatu - a small wilderness with a vast white sand beach and sparkling lagoon waters.
